After five days of culture, communion and mutual understanding we have reached the end of our Summer School! At the close of our meeting, we turned to the subject of gift.

Anouk Grevin presented an empirical analysis carried out on companies suffering from problems of work malaise. The results of the analysis show that managers are often so focused on the administrative management that they devote no time to listening to the problems that emerge in the workplace, and they never reward and recognize the efforts of the team.

Half way through this Summer School, Prague welcomed us with the beauty of its architecture, the charm of the Imperial Castle and the River Vltava crossing through it.

Our days continued with the launch of the Company Cube, which prompted us to experience how even competitors can become friends and colleagues and encouraged us to find the time to get to know each other and break the barriers to creating an environment of mutual aid.

We are in Prague, for the fourth Summer School of the Economy of Communion: we are students, workers and entrepreneurs, representing a wide range of interests and competences. There are six of us here who have participated in the previous schools in Lisbon, Madrid and Paris and - to break the ice - these people shared their impressions and some advice to help participants make the most of this week together.

The main topics to be discussed and experienced with young participants, scholars and entrepreneurs of the EoC during the mornings of the School are as follows:

- Is an “economy of communion” possible? Experiences from entrepreneurs of different parts of the world.- Is man really an “homo oeconomicus”? If not, what does it change in economics and in company practices?- Creativity and generativity: the key to building a new economy.- Examples of companies that have invented new ways of doing business.- The courage to challenge mainstream opinions and practices. - What can we do to be the change we want?
